Use time-honored futures trading techniques to find the big winners! And stay with them!

Risk-conscious futures traders wouldn't think of trading without using timing techniques. Yet many otherwise savvy stock market professionals reject or ignore timing, either for individual stocks or for the market in general­­mainly because they don't understand timing or because they don't know how to use it.

The Streetsmart Guide to Timing the Stock Market is the first book to bring to the stock market the timing techniques used by generations of futures traders around the world. This groundbreaking book is based on strategies proven through state-of-the-art computer testing to be profitable in all North American financial futures markets, including stock index futures. It demonstrates:

Step-by-step instructions for identifying the best stocks to buy and the time to buy them
When to let profits run (but not give back all your profits) and when to cut losses short
Strategies for the long term that avoid the disaster of riding a bear market to the bottom
How to sell a stock short in a bear market
